Vegas Star Trek Experience Closing Down
Leebert writes "Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton is closing its doors today after the attraction owner and the hotel could not work out a renewed lease deal. In its 10-year tenure, more than 3 million people have visited the Trek themed exhibit. 'Trekkies are incensed. They've scrawled reminiscences about the exhibit on the walls inside, and they're calling Cedar Fair and the hotel to complain. But their online rumor that the space the exhibit occupies will become a theater for pop star Michael Jackson is unfounded, Sternberg said. He said nothing's decided.'"
They never kissed a girl yet this is the greatest affront to their existence?
Priorities, people.
I don't think it matters where it moves to.
With all the enthusiasm behind it, I'm sure it will live long and prosper.
Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
>But their online rumor that the space the exhibit occupies will
become a theater for pop star Michael Jackson...
At least it will stay a SF/Alian theme...
...Ferengi bastards!

I had never heard of this, but then again I have never actually gone to Vegas.
Neither have I. This may provide a clue as to why it's closing.
You know you've been watching too much Star Trek when you casually say pack up a hotel and exhibit hall and move them to Seattle from Vegas.
Hopefully, the Casino rules will still stand and no one under 21 will be allowed into MJ Land. Actually, as long as they keep anyone under about 14 out, they should do fine. If they do decide on the Michael Jackson Theatre, I think we should insist they add the Roman Polanski, OJ Simpson and Phil Spector Theaters in the same building. Then we can nuke the building from space. (It's the only way to be certain.)
well, I hear the Paris Hilton still has an attraction at the back door...
KHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!
Wait, what? What's a "normal" trekie in this sense?
(Disclaimer: I watched the original as a kid in the sixties, but I didn't inhale.)

Another clue: geeks understand how probability works.
A sign that Vegas needs a entire Star Trek Themed hotel.
Quarks Casino, Shopping on the Promenade, The Risa Day Spa, The 10 forward lounge, Sulu's bath house err ahhh
Paris Hilton's attraction IS her back door.
You know, most people don't consider herpes to be an attraction.
If you're going to bombard buildings from space you really ought to do it in Salt Lake City. The grid system makes it easy, they even give you a nice big target at the center of the coordinate system to zero your sight with.
It's called the "Warp Core Breach" and it's clearly designed to be consumed by more than one person... the star trek booze version of the Vermonster.
63 comments in and still no one has made an "it's dead, Jim" joke? What happened to the slashdot I used to know?!
"Flag on the moon. How did it get there?"
If this weren't closing today, I'd probably go back right now and push buttons too. If a Lt caught me, I would just claim "I'm rerouting auxiliary power". As any Trekker knows, rerouting auxiliary power is probably the most important thing in a starship battle, right after raising shields and holding on for dear life.
designed to be consumed by more than one person...
Now you tell me!
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
[annecdote] friend of mine knew how to speak some "klingon" and got into it with one of those staff actors at the bar. received a head butt and mock beat-down for his trouble.[/annecdote].
Good times.
I can't decide if I want to post a mocking reply or a "zomg, thats cool!" reply.
Tell you what, if anyone asks outside of Slashdot, I mocked your anecdote, but between you and me thats freakin' cool.
(We weren't in costume, of course, but the character actors at Quark's seemed to appreciate having trained improvisationalists to riff off of.)
This is the geek equivalent of "I think that stripper likes me"
